Good day, friends! Time for a new blog entry for you to enjoy! This is definitely a special themed edition entry today! Hurray for me managing to plug in a Batman reference in the title too. ;3 The reason for such a thing is… a new Bu identity created from a badge! This coming weekend marks the return of AnthroCon. This will be my… oh goodness, my fifth year attending! Neekko and I decided the theme we’d make out badges is… Superhero! So I introduce to you… Bu’s secret superhero identity, Bu-Man!
First up, the badge for AnthroCon, made by Neekko!

Here he is! Bu-man. Super savior to all mankind! Okay… maybe, maybe not? It’s Bu in a special costume, but SHHH, he wants to keep it a secret. I have contemplated many thing about his super-heroic origins and powers. My first idea was that Bu accidentally ate two multivitamins when he knows you only take ONE a day. He realized it did not kill him (surprise!) and so he thought he must be superhuman (he’s barely human to begin with, oh him…) I figure he’s also mostly a really strong martial artist, which is how I based Bu to be to begin with. Thus the Iron Fist-inspired costume that Neekko really did a spectacular job with! I love how it’s almost like his usual outfit, but expanded and advanced. I felt like it needed a bit more color, so the stripe on his pants and torso was something I asked to be added. Many thanks to Neekko for thinking the superhero theme worked and managing to open a new chapter in the Bu saga. lol You can believe there will be more Bu-man art in the future. ;3 See Neekko‘s badge and mine posted HERE!
Secondly, Sablechan made the (fake) premiere issue of Bu-Man’s heroic comic franchise!

I knew when Bu-Man was being made up, I thought the best thing to do was to also make some sort of comic, or at the very least a cover image. Sablechan was the man to bring that to life. He brought the idea to life with plenty of his own personal flair! The little Neek and his character Diato there add a cute touch. This must be a part of Neekko‘s future publication company “Drawgon Comics!” XD This is news to me, how exciting! Sable also definitely made Bu… er Bu-Man look super cool and tough too. Buff and colorful and buff some more Gumball massacre, ohnoes! Sounds like a crazy-fun story that I cannot wait to read. AFFORDABLE too!! Only a dollar. All the best comics are affordable like this, I’d say. You can see Sablechan‘s submission of this awesome work right HERE!
That’s all for the adventures of Bu-Man and Super Neek for today. I was hoping to have three images for this entry of Bu-Man, but I did not manage. x_x I wanted to be sure I posted the badge and comic cover before AnthroCon. Ah well, two is enough since they’re so great! I hope you like them too and Bu’s new form, as well. Stay tuned for next week!! I intend to get a few nice commissions at AnthroCon this year, so you can believe I will be posting the post-con goodness ASAP! Stay tuned! Have a great weekend, friends. <3
